[quote=Anonymous]This is a normal phase -- realizing that your parents aren't perfect, that they are, in fact, flawed people who make mistakes. Your daughter is experiencing a more intense version of it, but it's not unusual. Talk to her. Be honest that her father is who he is, and that includes the good and bad. And indeed, that the same trait can be good or bad depending on the context. And so she will need to practice speaking up and telling him what she wants and needs, and she will also need to learn that she's not always going to get what she wants. And she can't expect to change him, because mostly we can't change other people. But he loves her, and he has a good heart. And she loves him. [/quote]
